Hi,
I get the following error message when I try to combine datasets.
24 data blue;
25 set berry raison;
ERROR: Variable fruit has been defined as both character and numeric.
26 by fruit; run;
I doubled checked to ensure that both "fruit" variables in berry and
raison are both character variables.
I've even gone as far as to write if-then statements to make sure they
are character (if berry = '01' then berry = '01').
I don't understand why I keep getting this error message.
Furthermore, I did a proc contents on both data sets and they both say
that "fruit" is a character variable.
any suggestions?
thank you.
